I'm wondering how many students actually pay list price? (I mean, their parents.)

With financial aid, this is probably more along the lines of "tell us how much you make and we'll tell you the price."

The Department of Education's College Scorecard for BU[1] suggests relatively few given the reported $30,395 average annual cost figure, which is described as:

> The average annual net price that a student who receives federal financial aid pays to cover expenses (e.g., tuition, living expenses) to attend a school. Net price is the school's cost of attendance minus any grants and scholarships received. For public schools, this is only the average cost for in-state students.

In comparison, Stanford's reported average annual cost[2] is $12,894. This makes sense given its student responsibility[3].

Tell me how much of a loan you qualify for and we'll tell you the price.

It would be great if that information was published.

I received a full tuition scholarship to BU.
